dude, you lost 2.5 BIs. no problems there. if every day was a winning day this game would be too easy right? . . . .
just keep doing what you have been and you'll be fine. at least you had the sense to stop when you knew you were tilted - and that DEFINATELY makes a difference.
middle of last month i was about -$70 one day at 25NL and on massive tilt, but I didnt stop and by the end of the day I was -$170. All you can do is get back to your A game as of the next session.
gl dude.
Thanks sil. Yea I found out a while back that playing while tilting = not a very good thing in the morning lol. So if I ever don't "feel" it I just quit. No sense playing when the mojo aint running imo.
Just got some REALLY good news tho. A friend that has owed me $30 for fricking EVER is finally get money on pokerstars and is gonna ship me $50 for making me wait so long. (I lent him the money back in early December, so its been a while.) He gets the money on March 10th or 11th so by the 15th I better have it lol. So that will boost the roll to ~$150 which will be pretty gross for me lol.
Getting sick as hell though, (healthwise that is). Sore throat, coughing, all that bs. Probably gonna affect my poker playing the next couple days, and that REALLY sucks cuz next week is spring break, and theres no way in hell im playing poker at all next week (unless its live) becuz i jsut aint gonna have the time lol.
He won't be able to send it until 10 days after he deposits it and it clears.Quote:

Even though I feel like ass, I played a decent (~700 hands) tonight/this morning. First session was swongy as fuck. At one point the BR dipped down to $93, and then it got as high as $111. Pretty fun, eh? Ended at $106 finally, for a total of 1 BI up after 400ish hands so I aint gonna bitch.
After that, I just played some random flash games online and watched some ESPN even though there wasn't dick on. Bout 5:30 I opened up a couple tables, ran pretty hot. Stacked two feesh with 100bb stacks to give me a $18 stack on one table when the server restart started (damn pokerstars) and on the other, I was up to $11 when I hit TP with KQ on a flush draw board. I bet pretty big all the way down, guy shoved his last ~$2 giving me like 5:1 odds on the call and the flush didn't hit, and he rivered trip 4's to take out 100bb.
All in all a pretty lively session. Ended up 2 BI over 300 hands. If only it were this easy all the time :).
Hey man good luck with everything. I'm an honest guy and if I drink 1 soda or have any chips for the rest of the month I owe you $50. Hope you start pwning and moving up soon sir.
I've heard that you like to make random prop bets, but are you sure dude? I mean, I won't bitch if I wake up to $50 extra, but that's a lot of money to me (even in real life :( lol hurray for being poor). But if you want to... ;)Quote:

Now, since I've pulled an all nighter for the 2nd day in a row (I slept during the day yesterday not 48 continuous hours) its time to crash. When I wake up I might being getting a PS3 with 2 controllers and some games (not sure which) for ~$300, which would be pretty sweet.
Sick about the PS3. And yeah man, I'm sure. Trust me $50 is a lot to me too but anything to keep my life moving into the direction it needs to be is worth it.
Keep at it and study study study and you'll get there.
Enjoy the bankroll boost dude! BTW, i ran like god at 25NL in Jan and Feb so take that 50 to 2 $25NL tables and pwn :wink:
Hey thanks kettleofish and alright kmind. :)
Dude that was gonna sell me the PS3 bitched out, and said he was "financially secure" now. rofl. Maybe you shouldnt have bought a $700+ machine if you WEREN'T financially secure. God I hate morons. lol
Sorry just pissy about that, I was looking forward to getting it :)
Tough break on the ps3 dranger. I got mine by buying my friends plane ticket to vegas back in november. So he owed me some cash and he owed my girl like 100 so in comensation we took the ps3 with 2 controllers ^_^ Youll find a good deal soon man. Check craigslist near yourself my friend.
Go dranger you're making well good progress. Have you thought about switching to FR? I mean solid ABC poker you can't lose at FR, well not with 20 BI's anyway. As always rooting for you, keep the vision of poker ownage in your mind, it's kinda nice being low like we are, we have the other FTR regs to look up to, don't we - one day, others just starting out will be looking up to us! Just keep playing solid poker dude. GL!
Hey slev, yea I've thought about switching, and I did a stint in January of like 7-8k hands of FR that worked out pretty well, but I was just in robot mode, not playing the people or anything, so I think I will stick to 6-max for now.
Once I get up to 25 or 50nl I may switch over to FR and start grinding it out that way, but for now I feel I am getting my more educational benefit playing 2-4 tables of 6-max then I would playing 6-10 tables of FR. I still get in as many hands as I would like, and I get in more interesting spots with less than premium hands in small/medium pots and it really helps out with reads and exploiting an opponents tendencies and stuff.
And about the PS3, I'm not really actively searching for one, it was just kind of something that fell into my lap really. It was a friend of my roomie that was supposed to be selling and he backed out when I put the cash in front of him, but whatever.
The only reason I considered it was because my Xbox 360 got the gay ass red lights again, and I really don't feel like sending it in AGAIN (this will be the 3rd time in 2 years). Its getting to be a joke, so I figured I'd give the new Playstation a shot. If I find another deal I'll probly jump on it though.
Back to the grind!
I think that's a joke that they can get away with that (Microsoft) I mean... That's a blatent product malfunction and they don't even care. Surprised me a bit I used to respect Microsoft. The LEAST they can do is give people new boxes that don't overheat. My little brother got an xbox recently and the guarantee cost almost as much as the xbox, but with that defect - you can't really be without it can you. I don't blame you for looking to the PS3, if I was getting a console I think that's the direction I'd be looking too, either that or the Wii - the tennis looks kinda cool in the advert lol.
Just finished a 500 hand session. Finished up 1.5 BI's so a pretty good session imo. Got a couple guys to donate ridiculous amounts with trash hands. Ah... the micros.
Got stacked KK < Quad 5's to start out for 100bb stacks so that was pretty gross lol. But still managed to turn the session in to a winner.
Thanks to kettle coming through on his wager, my BR currently stands at $174.15. And the guy that owes me money should have shipped by March 20th. So my BR is looking to get another big boost soon.
Its sad really, I just made 1/2 my BR by not even playing poker :( lol. Ah well, its not gonna stop my grind. And it might make me move up to 10nl with a bigger BR becuz I want at least 15-20k hands at 5nl before I move up to make sure I'm winning consistently.
Thanks for the read!
sounds like you're making really good progress. keep it up dude. and there is nothing wrong with wanting to make sure you can beat a limit decently before moving up if it makes you feel more comfortable. what BR are you planning on having before you move to 10nl?
Before I was planning on between $200 and $250 before taking my first shot now I'll probably wait until $250-$300 just to give myself a little extra cushion. I think this will actually help me out more than anything, tbh. I kind of like the idea of having a deeper BR before moving up, and before I was all stressing about having to move up NOW, but idk now it just seems like, its ok, I can relax a little now.
yeah definately. badgers (i think) posted in my blog saying somethign along the lines of this:
dont be afraid to lose a little when you move up,
if it means you're learning how to make more.
i think its a good point, and it emphasises the benefits of moving up with a deeper roll. theres no point moving up and then feeling like you want to / have to drop back down if you lose 2 or 3 buy ins.
gl dude.
Ok this hand might be SUPER standard, but god damn I feel good for laying it down, it just shows me how much I have grown as a player since I started. It used to be I wouldn't even think about it and I would continue :).

Just finished a decent little 280 hand session. Ran pretty well I think, made a few good laydowns (for me, that is) and finished up $9.53 so almost 2 BI's.
I'm feeling really good about my game today for some reason. It seems like I'm putting my opponents on hand ranges more and more accurately, which is allowing me to value bet a LOT more effectively, lay down some hands that I probably normally wouldn't, etc.
Its kind of funny too being that I'm sick and all that I just start playing my best poker, and tbh, I think that a lot of it has to do with that extra $50 sitting in my BR right now. I guess there was still some pressure on me to not fall below $100 again, which, I think its safe to say, shouldn't happen unless I go on a MAJOR cooler streak.
Once I get up to 10nl I'm definitely going to be doing a lot more studying and posting hands on here. I just don't find too many hands where I don't know the "right" move. I mean sure there are a couple of questionable spots where I make a move that I probably shouldn't have, but I recognize it instantly, so I don't feel the need to post them. Its just that the level I'm playing at now is just too easy for me to be posting every questionable hand, and I really don't feel like I'm playing poorly (even though I probably am ;)).
So thats it for now, I'll probably throw in another session before I leave for Spring Break tonight. I won't be posting (more than likely) until the 15th unless I'm not drinking lol.
BR $183.68
Alright folks, just finished a short 150 hand session. Ended up a BI so pretty much 3 BI's up for the day.
Roll currently stands at $187.55
Not a bad note to leave on for Spring Break. Time to go get FUCKED UP for a week straight :D.
Later everyone!
Uh, just so you know, the race is off! Wit' yo cheatin' ass. :-)Quote:

Either way, $50 of that WAS technically already in my roll since I lent it out while doing this op. ;)
God damn. Being sick + hang over + puke covered couch = a not good morning after a bad ass party lol.
Seriously, possibly single handedly the best party I've ever been to and I barely remember any of it. :)
We tapped the keg at 6:30 (lol) That fucker was finished by 11. We killed 2 30's of Busch Light, a 24 of Coors and a 24 of miller lite. Also, a fifth of absinth (worst tasting shit I've EVER had, but damn does it fuck you up) was downed early on, 2 fifths of vodka and a fifth of captain.
Not bad for only starting out with like 10-15 people (by the time it really got going though there was probably 40ish there.) Fucking crazy though. I played like 8 or 9 games of beer pong and won 2 of them cuz I suck at life, got to see like 4 chicks do a naked lap cuz they got skunked (:)) and watched some chick with huge boobs puke all over my buddies couch lol.
Next morning wasn't such a treat unfortunately. Had to clean all that shit up and tell people I've never met to get the fuck out lol. After that was done I went to the casino in town and played some 1/2 for a couple hours for $16 profit. Tbh though, I played fucking awful poker. I'm probly not gonna go back to the casino until I'm through coughing up a fucking lung and wiping my damn nose every 5 seconds. I wasn't able to focus on the game properly, wasn't making good bets, calling down when I should have been betting/folding, etc.
It really makes me happy though that I played about as bad as I can yesterday and I still managed to walk out ahead. This really sucks being sick on spring break. I was planning on getting fucked up damn near every day or playing poker at the casino and making profitz, but it looks like I'll have to hold off til at least monday.
Thats all for now folks, time to pop some meds and die for 6-10 hours.
Whoops forgot I wanted to put something in that last post pertaining to the casino. I realized while waiting for a table to open that I am a fucking money nit when it comes to any other casino game.
I walked over to a craps table because I recognized one of the dealers and she likes to flirt and shit, so I figured what the hell. So I get over there throw a $20 down (I know baller right? ;)) and throw a $5 chip on the pass line, and start chatting her up, and the roller 7's out and I was watched the $5 chip slide away I got kinda pissy, then I just busted out laughing because I'm willing to throw out PF raises and c-bets with air that are double that without blinking at the 1/2 I'm about to go play.
It's the weirdest thing though. I am averse to putting any amount of money (even like $1) on any other casino game because I know I can't win in the long run, but in poker I feel I have an edge over the average local so I don't feel bad about losing a $100+ on a single hand because I know I own his soul in the long run lol.
Strange world innit?
haha man it sounds like you had a sick weekend. I wish parties in Canada got that crazy...we're such tight-asses up here, especially where I live.
Good luck picking up that dealer and be sure to keep this operation going its friggin awesome.
Robin Williams described Canada as a loft apartment above a really kickass party.
Dranger, I have the same attitude as you about other games, similar anyway. I wont play without some kind of edge. I'm comfortable with $2k+ in front of me on a poker table but I wont even put down $500 on a blackjack table and I count cards. I've spent more time in casinos than some of the people that work there and I've never put a dime on a roulette or craps table.
If Canada is the loft then Mexico is the basement where the really baller shit goes on lol. Cancun FTW.
Anyways yea Micro this operation aint gonna die (well in the summer it will, but thats due to boot camp lol) I've put way too much time and effort into building my roll to just piss it away or cash out. I really want to get better.
And dev, I wonder if most poker players are like this or if its just a select few of us? It just doesn't feel right to "gamble" anymore, which is funny because thats how the majority of people feel towards poker (that its gambling that is). I love the fact that I am getting to the point where I have a hobby that can consistently make me money, whereas most people have a hobby that they dump thousands of dollars into. (fishing for example.)
And that party I went to was quite probably the craziest one I've been to in a while, hopefully there will be a few more coming up. :)
I think most online players will be nitty about -EV games, but most live players, pros even, will gamble a bit. There is only one non-math oriented player I know that doesn't gamble on other games (because he deals them for a living). A lot of dealers are hopeless gamblers, so he's the exception.
Ted Forest and Phil Ivey are craps players. Gavin Griffin is a hopeless gambler. One of the floors at foxwoods told me he was playing a golf arcade game he'd never played before for $20/hole in the break room. He played $1/$2nl drunk off his ass. He went AI pretty much every hand and gave money back to the players when he sucked out. Why oh why wasn't I at that table?
HAHAH no shit right? Time to track his ass down and feed him so drinks lol.
You can take a shot at say $200 and go back to 5NL until you move there permanently at $250 or somethingQuote:

I have decided to switch over to FR after hearing some suggestions that FR is MUCH softer than 6max at the higher stakes, and since that is where I want to be someday, I might as well switch over while its easy imo.
Now to my Spring Break. It went well, kind of boring but fun (lol?). After that big party Thursday I didn't do a whole lot of drinking, but managed to slip in a few beers here and there. Played some pokers at the casino, got raped in a $300+ pot that was straddled PF, but I walked away feeling happy with how I played. I played ZERO MEANINGFUL cash game hands, although I did maniac it up at 2nl with a buddy of mine. Raising EVERY HAND to 47 cents for an orbit = the uber nuts btw. Played a few 45+ man sngs. Cashed in 2 of 4 45 mans finishing 2nd and 5th, but in one of the other ones I bubbled, but I played it with sil and Muzz and we had a $1 (lul) last longer prob bet so I ended up profiting anyways. Played a 90 man with Micro and finished 7th I believe. Was card dead literally the whole tournament, so extremely happy with deep finish.
Thats pretty much it for now. Will definitely put some hands in today, and will update laters.
BR stands at $183. (I bought in for the Noob HU Tournament that I set up ($5) and lost 3 $1 BI's while donking at 2nl. Which is where the losses come from.)
GOGOGOGOGOGO. gl with fr dude.
Just finished my first ever session of 5nl FR. I am EXTREMELY pleased with how I played, the results just didn't show. -3 BI's for the day. I lost 2 300bb pots one of which was standard cooler. Flopped a FH with 44 on a AA4 board. Got two guys who had me covered to ship it in with me, turn and river 6. They had AQ and AK to chop up mah monies. Other one is standard.
I ran pretty loose for FR at 20/13/3.0 over ~300 hands but I was actually catching good cards PF, just not connecting/getting played back at more and wasn't comfortable. For example had QQ 4 time this session, a K or A flopped 3 times. I was also stealing blinds with a vengeance on tables where I had nits to my left (standard obv.)
Anyways, I won't let this faze me and I will keep the chip up and come back later tonight to pwn epically vs these nubs. Here are 3 hands that I thought I would ask some questions on. (Will also be posted in BC).
Hand 1:
I don't have a read (its during my first orbit at table) but the guy is a short stack and obv I hate the Q on the flop, but should I c/f here? That seems too weak, but betting any amount will probly make him ship if he caught any of the board... Suggestions?
http://weaktight.com/891238
Hand 2:
Same as other hand, no reads this is within 1st orbit at a different table. After he raises PF, bets flop and turn, then checks behind river, I am thinking he has a weaker Ace a lot of the time, but I think he bets out AJ if he hit it. I also think he would bet AK again on river, so I ruled that out. Any problems with betting small to get value here? Do you think a weaker Ax calls a ship from me?
http://weaktight.com/891239
Hand 3:
On flop I really like my chances vs these two. They were both really LAGGy pre and post flop, although I was kind of thrown off by their limps PF. I have the nut flush draw with overs and a (lol) backdoor straight draw, so I like my equity vs. them, even if they have a made straight or set. I make a standard semi-bluff get minraised and called. Is this a good spot to ship it? I really hate flatting and any other raise size seems really dumb.
http://weaktight.com/891241
Hey Dranger my buddy went to school with your avitar! Sarah Underwood is from Scappoose Oregon. I was reading you opp and he walked in.
Wow lucky fucker imo.
Just a quick note on PF, I probably make it 4xbb+1bb for every limper. So on a couple of these hands I would be raising more PF.
Hand 1
Tricky spot, he could be shipping any part of the board Qx/Axc/ so it makes it fairly tricky. tbh I dont know what the nest line is here really. I might even c/f or b/c, if I had better realds. Tricky vs an unknown with a short stack. I think ur b/f line was probably ok here.
Hand 2
Pf more, raise flop, coz I think he has a weaker A a lto of the time that won't fold. As played I like the turn call and river bet.
Hand 3
More pre again. You can call coz we are getting good pot odds and fold a blank turn. I also don't mind a flop ship coz we have great equity when called, Aces and Queens may evben be good.
1. i think b/f flop is fine.
2. sorry i couldnt give you advice as this was happening dude. i think you played this fine, i like the bet on the river once he checks.
3. call is ok btu i like a shove too. so either or imo.
Played some moar FR today. I ran 12/10 over 1.5k hands at 17bb/100 which is pretty goot imo. (Major improvement from yesterday obv) I have nearly pulled myself outta yesterdays ugly session, so that feels good. I am really happy with my 12/10 stats, and going from 6 max stats to FR stats in one day = good things imo lol.
I added 2 more tables today and stacked them so I haz 6 tables open when I'm playing now, which is much better for me then 4, so I don't get bored so easily. I might try 8 tabling tomorrow, but we'll see. I don't have class until 6pm so I am hoping to put in a few thousand hands, and hopefully pwn the shit out of 5nl donks. :)
welcome to the world of FR nits. please to be enjoying your stay.
gl dude.
8 tabled with success over 1800 hands so far today. Not done yet for the day for grinding, but BR is currently at an all time high of $196, so basically I'm not gonna check it until Friday I think, cuz if I do I'll keep peeking during a session to see if I broke $200. That isnt good, so placing a restriction on myself. Also, I'm going to get in 10k hands of 5nl FR before I take the shot at 10nl. I want to make sure I'm not just completely luckboxing (which I probably am ;)). Stats for today are 12/11 lol, so keepin it solid.
Will report later after tonights sesh.
Whoa! The big two oh oh! Sweet man. I think you're doing better than Kid Poker. Keep it up. I had hoped I would catch up to you while you were off chasing drunk college girls, but oh well.
Good job dude, looks like you're showing some success at full ring so far, keep it up.
I didn't play today, mostly because I came home hammered...haha.
Oh yah I made it further than I expected in that tourney last night! LOL Donkaments.
I be chekcing in laterr
Nice work sir, keep this up and it'll be 10NL in no time. GOGOGOGOGOGO.
Played a MONSTER session (hand-wise) last night. Like 5+ hours of poker, 8-12 tabling for most of it. I started out 8 tabling, then a buddy started sweating me and asked how many I thought I could load up and still be able to play pokers smartly. Apparently 12 is the limit. I ended up playing 2,700 hands+ hands last night and profits of $14 so 10bb/100.
And oh yea, BROKE $200!!!!!!!111 BR is currently $210 and I have played 6300/10,000 hands before I take my shot at 10nl. So probly early next week I'll be taking the shot. There is a very SMALL chance that I'll be grinding this weekend, because my friends gf's friends are coming back up, and I guess they BOTH think I'm hot. :) So 2 VERY cute chicks that think I'm hot + 3 days with them pretty much alone = a very good chance for an awesome weekend and very little chance for pokers lol.
O and fwiw I am nowhere near ready to play 12 tables consistently. It was more an experiment/dicking around to see if I could do it. I could, but I lost track of the tables a lot so yea. I'm gonna stick with 6-8, I seem to be able to play goot (for me ;)) pokers there.
Time to get ready for work :( Grind later.
I have a dumb multitabling question...
I only play one at a time and want to move to two or three so I don't know how it works for doing 6-8 at a time.
You obviously dont have all 8 tables up at once on screen so do you just leave them minimized until its your turn to bet and the table pops up??
If so....how can you follow the action and see how the others play?
Honestly, when I 6+ table I stack all the tables on top of one another. About half the size of the screen, and when its my turn to act the table pops up on one the table. The way I keep track of certain hands is if I see something interesting going on on one of the tables I drag it off to the side and keep an eye on it. I play so nitty that I'm mostly folding anyways, so it works. Also, USUALLY whenever I'm in a hand I will drag the table off to the side to keep an eye on the action. The times I don't is just when I have a slop hand in the BB and it limps around. Obviously if I hit the flop reasonably well I'll be playing it and will drag it off to the side.
Hope that answers your question.
Fuck poker what happened with the womanz?
Also add tables slowly.
I highly recommend table ninja or some hot key script thingys.
Sn name on stars?
The women folk don't get here til Friday, then they are staying all weekend til Sunday afternoon. Just gotta find someone to cover for me at work and I'm in lol.
Yea, I'm not planning on 12 tabling for quite some time lol. That was more of an experiment than anything. Went pretty well, but I'd rather 6-8 table and call it good for now.
Can't get either of those because I'm an idiot and play on a mac :( No AHK scripts for dems *cries*
dranger7070 same as everything else lol. I should probly stop telling people that cuz now all the regs are gonna come bum hunt me ;)
Women, poker, beer.
Op' of the year IMO
it has potential.Quote:

Ok, just finished a 400 hand session at 10nl 4 tabling. (I decided to take a shot with a friend sweating me.) Started out AWESOME as this hand will show you. Doesn't get much better than this imo.

And then THIS happened right before I ended the session. This pretty much made me want to vomit all over myself imo and pretty sure I threw my laptop at the wall. How often am I gonna get this opportunity at 10nl?

So yea. I ended down $4 after that. *cries and vomits into the toilet* That hand would have made my move into 10nl SOOOO bad ass. Now all I can do is look back and shake my head. Now not trying to be a dick, but nibbles PLEASE try to bitch about your big PP's not holding up lol.
BR is $200.76
Nothing you can do about that preflop Dranger ^_^ there will be plenty of fish willing to donate to you though. AI K8s??
FYP.Quote:

Yea I'm obv glad I knew I got it AI with the best hand, but fuck man. I just can't get over that shit lol. Well I can, and have, but its just funny as fuck. Micro2Macro was on MSN while I was playing and I told him about it, and hes like, "the craziest shit happens when you move up" and ill be damned if he ain't right. ;)
my first 2 sessions at 50NL I ran into quads.Quote:

I know it. I seem to be stubborn about this. ;) Ah well, its cool, I'm still really pleased with how I played (obv other than just these two hands). I wasn't being a spew monkey like I tend to do sometimes lol, so thats good. I wasn't betting out with hands that have purely showdown value (which I tend to do A LOT). I just played an all around better game that normal (for me) last night.Quote:

Oh and another thing: it also happens whenever you hit what would be considered a milestone for your bankroll. I.E, $100, $500, $1000, $5000, $10000 etc.
Dranger made the move upto 10nl good job. How many hands did you end up doing at 5nl? I figure it'll take me atleast another month or so before I'll be ready. Can you give me an idea of how you see the differences? I'd like to hear it from somebody who has just made the move cuz I know once you've went through the learning curve you'll say the same as everyone else "Same fish same shit etc."
Good luck and keep on grinding!
Ok so weekend/wimminz update. Epic successaments. Long story short, we went out Saturday night, whenever some dude would hit on either of the friends they would both grab my hand say that they were with me (shipit :)). We get to drinking, sit down on a couch between both of them, start making out with one of em, she stops me, says she has a bf and that shes on the rag (SOOO GAY), but then says if she wasn't on her perios she would have (sweet!). Meanwhile, other friend patiently waiting turns me around to notice her and pretty much shoves her tongue down my throat (not complaining, she had a great rack :)). So yea, start kissin and making out with Kelly, and one thing leads to another and we sneak off to a guest room in this frat house. Clothes are gone, movement, goot times. Work sucked on Friday and Sunday. So yep, pretty much taking a night off this weekend was badass, def need to do it more often, and cant wait for the next time those chicas come up :).
On to pokerz. Last night had a disgusting session 8 tabling 10nl. Started out pretty bad, losing close a BI when JJ < QQ on a low board and him limp/calling PF. After that EVERYTHING turned around. I was flopping the nuts left and right, my AA/KK was getting paid, ppl were shoving with air into my virtual nuts. Goot times were had. Finished the session up almost 4 BI's in a little over 1k hands.
Now I'm depressed cuz I haz to work from 3-1030 so no pokerz for like 10 hours lol. Pretty much want to epically pwnzer donkfish all day, but NOOO. Jobs suck ass. (ldo) Can't wait for the day (if it ever comes) when I can support myself by solely poker income.
And Harley, I switched over to FR about midway through 5nl (7k hands at 6max, 7.5k hands at FR) so I only played 14.5k hands there, but my roll was a $200 and I was eager to give it a shot. So far I seem to be holding my own. At 10nl as opposed to 2nl and 5nl, its not about stacking off all the time (although its always nice when you do), it seems the main source of stack growing is by slowly accumulating through smaller pots with c-bets, double barrles, v-betting, etc. If you are going to stack off, you need to have the goods the majority of the time (ie 2 pair+, set+). Still a lot of fish swimming around, if thats wut ur worried about. Theres just less per table. Like I usually have at least 2 or 3 other nits, and like 2-4 fish and the rest be in betweeners like 20/10, 22/14 etc. They SEEM to know some things about poker, but they still arent very good.
My big thing since moving up is blind stealing relentlessly. It increased from 30% at 5nl 6max to 40% at 5nl FR to 48% at 10nl FR. These guys just don't defend, and if they do it once, dont worry they havent caught on, they actually just had a hand. Omg one thing that i lol'ed at when I realized it is that you play straight forward at 2nl and 5nl, but it almost seems that you can play EVEN MORE straightforward at 10nl. Some of the ppl know that some hands are "good" and some are "bad" and will turn their cards face up for u. For example, nit raises, you fold cuz he has the nuts lol. Nit limps, then calls from EP, he has 22-99 more then likely. Their lines are so straightforward its laughable. They will never get your money (like a stack that is) unless you are coolered if you paying attention because they are just that bad.
EZ game imo.
I get the feeling im gonna get a few (more than a few actually) tl;dr on this post lol.
dranger sounds like the ladies were fun for ya and that's always good!
Glad to hear 10nl is going well so far. Keep up the good work. I have a ways to go but am looking forward to it.
So yea, just finished another disgusting session of 10nl. 900 hands for $45 and 50bb/100. I had to change my underwear during this one, I literally shit myself laughing at what I was getting paid off with. I got quad 8's and quad J's for $8 pots each, tripled up with a set of 5's vs 2 villains deepstacked, and just all around got feesh to donk into my nut hands. I ran ridiculously well, but I talked to micro on msn afterwards and hes like, "even if the cards are falling into ur lap, you have to playing semi decent poker to make that kinda moniez" and that cheered me up cuz I hate thinking I'm only winning cuz of the cards.
ANYWAYS, nuff bitching about pwning (wtf is wrong with me?). Up $85 in less than 36 hours. Obv the most profitable day and a half of poker ever for me. Goot times and lol heaterments ftw. I have zilch to do tomorrow so I plan on putting in a few thousand hands. Hopefully heaterments continue. As me and Micro put it on msn: getting laid + getting paid = goot life lol.
Laters!
Ok, for those of you who don't know what a heater looks like, I will post garf after this post. Sorry for bragging and whatnot, but I can't help it. I have yet to run this good since this op has started. I just finished a night of 2nl (with some guys from on here)/10nl (quit early to play with FTR guys)/25nl. I took $10 stack to 2 tables of 25nl not to take a shot, but more to see if its really different from 10nl. I think its safe to say that its not. I shouldn't have any problem moving up when I'm rolled, and I won't be playing it again until I'm ready, so I don't want to hear anything about being underrolled.
Anyways, finished up another $36 tonight. So gross considering Sunday morning I was at ~$220 now I'm at $320, but whatever lol. I watched ppl at 25nl tonight stack off with Q2s on the river with air and get called by 3rd pair. I'm sure I was on an INSANELY good table (2 of them actually) but still. I didnt even see stuff like that at 2nl that often. It was just nice to see that there really ARE donks out there at higher stakes. Makes me feel goot.
Anyways, rambling = not fun to read. Here is a sexy pic instead:
http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4...erments.th.png
Yes, 25nl = 2nl. Gg last night. Thinnest value evar.
Keep the money flowin!
lol, heateraments. gg dude. please to not be becoming a short stacker imo haha.
Dranger that is goooood shit my friend! Keep it up and grind your ass off.
LOL no way in HELL I'll ever short stacker for grindage. I short stack when playing at a higher limit/moving up becuz I'm still risking the same amount I'm used to and it lets me get a feel for the blinds. I couldn't do it forever tho, even though I think I'm OK at it. Probably good enough to beat 25nl doing it, but 100bb deep is so much more profitable.
Thanks Harley! Will do buddy.
Sick heater buddy. Nice to hear donks are still running rampant up at 25NL. Now if I could just get my ass out of 5NL! Good luck with everything and in the midnight tourney!
Just finished playing in the 2.20 donkament. ~2k players to start. Finished like 512 or something. Not my best showing, but I got gayed out by a 1k stack at the start with KK so I started out pretty much in the hole. Doubled twice with rags to 2k stack. Sat there for a while. Started to blind out and shoved Q7s, got called by KK (naturally). I was about 200 away from money, but meh I was playing for deeper finish then mincash imo.
Dunno if I'm gonna grind tonight, if I don't post again then you'll know lol.
Laterz
LOLOLOLOL OMG MOST AWESOME YOUTUBE VID EVER!!!! I LOL'D SOOOO hard.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHXj3...layer_embedded
Decided to put the grind on hold for tonight. Watched a couple FTR vids. All of them pretty much over my head (like 200nl vids and whatnot) but it was still interesting nonetheless. Just opened up 2 $3.40 sngs. Busted out in the first orbit of both with AKs when the K hit the flop to AA. Fishdonk strategy for sng: Limp AA PF. Call PF raise. Open shove flop. Profitz. lol Ah well, standard imo. Shit happens when you party naked and when you play sngs instead of grinding cashaments. *sigh* gonna grind an ass ton of hands when I wake up. Laterz!
Hahah CLASSIC!Quote:

I signed up for the 2nd noob HU tournament which should be LOLsickpayoutaments if we get 32 ppl (which we definitely could). But anyways, in that light I'm going to be playing a bunch of HU sngs in the coming week. I'll start out with just the fish fest that is the 2.20's then if things go well over 20-30 ill bump it to 5.25's. I won't be doing anything higher then that though I don't think. (scared imo ;))
Thats it for now. Roll is $320.
played some more HU sng's today along with the 10nl. I played 5 2.20 HU's and went 4-1. Decided to play a 5.25 4 man (dont ask me why :/) killed the first round. 2nd round I would have been sitting pretty but got screwed in a 4bet pot PF by Q7s > my AK on an A77 flop. More than half my stack was in, im shipping this all day imo. GG sir.
Fired up 8 tables of 10nl. Stacked up as usual. Heater continues. 20bb/100 over 1k hands. +2 BI's. Ran pretty poorly vs $2 stacks actually, and I wasn't doing very well until I took one big pot down on the river with a bluff (i had a read, don't ask lol) and got AA AI PF vs two morons for a $21 pot. EZ game.
So, I hit my first "downswing" at 10nl if you can call it that. I was playing 8 tables of 10nl and was pumped up 4.5+ BI's at one point. (I got up to take a leak so I check lol). Lil bit later, got 2nd nut flush < flopped nut flush in a 300bb pot :/. Then got set over set for a 100bb pot. Then I started to spewtilt a lil bit and decided it would be a good time to stop grinding for a bit. Watched a friend play a 210fpp sat, and some 6m 10nl. O yea, I ended up +1.6 BI's after all that lol, so I can't complain about a +BI's day imo. :)
Anyways, after that, I decided to play some HU sngs. I want 6-1 today so that brings my total to 10-2 at the 2.20's, so doing pretty good imo. I'll probly play 8 more and if I win at least 4 of those I'll jump up to the 5.25's. Should be interesting, although I don't think the $5 one's are any more difficult.
Also, I watched some really interesting vid's on badugi courtesy of connectthesuitor's blog. I MIGHT try that out sometime this week, not sure tho. Also, anyone interested in playing in a HU FTR tournament please apply here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...50.html#861332.
Looks like we're gonna have a killer line up with a good sized prize pool, and someone anonymous has put out 2 bounties for $20 a piece so you might not even have to cash to win!
Thats it for now, roll is lookin' better then ever! I'll be crushing the 25enels in no time :)
Happy Birthday me. Turned 19. woot. Most boring b-day age ever. Probly won't go drinking or anything, becuz my life sucks and i work on my birthday.
Taking a break from grinding tonight for now. Probly fire up some more tables in an hour or so. I posted my March graph in the Micro Grinders March results thread. Basically I made $258, moved up from 2nl at the beginning of March to 10nl at the end. Accomplished a lot it seems. More than tripled my BR.
These are my April goals:
1.) Achieve silverstar
2.) Move up to 25nl (take shots at $500)
3.) COMPLETE THIS OP
So far april sucks tho lol. Down 2 Bi's in the first hour. :/ Ah well itll turn around.
Laters.

happy birthday yo. get your ass up to canada if you want to actually enjoy being 19.
fucking sick bankroll accomplishments! :clap:
Ok, so the last two nights have been really gay at 10nl. I have been getting good cards, but I either get ZERO action, or I get an AK flop with QQ or JJ, or I get AA on a 89T monotone board with lots of action. I've also been flopping sets like crazy (way more than usual) but they are always on really wet boards, so I have to bet strong so I get value and charge the draws, and either all the villains fold, or they call and the turn or river brings in the draw and they bet heavy, and the board fails to pair so I have to fold it. I know I am doing +EV things (most of the time, I have been spewing due to tilt as well, which I need to cut out IMMEDIATELY) and it will eventually swing in my favor it just gets irritating lol. I have to admit that I handle it better than I used to, which is good considering I'm losing me $ and its not affecting me nearly as much.
My BR was up to an all time higher of $380 a couple days ago, but no I'm back down below $350. I can't complain considering I'm still beating 10nl for a good clip over 10k hands, but it drags on you when you fail to connect/get paid for a few thousand hands lol. Variance can be a bitch some times, spewing doesn't help either. :/
1,763/40,000 hands

Just remembered, I went on a poker book buying binge on the 31st. I bought The Poker Mindset, Psychology of Poker, Mathematics of Poker, and Kill Phil off of Amazon for a grand total of... $66 lol. What a deal lol. $16.50 per book isn't too shabby I guess, and I'm eager to get into reading them all, especially the psychological one's.
It's obvious that I control bad beats/downswings/tilt much better than I used to, but I (and everyone) can always use more help. I also can't wait to sink my teeth into Mathematics of Poker. I understand a lot of the basic stuff (pot odds, implied odds, EV calcs, etc) but I want to learn more advanced topics (probably a lot of stuff I've never even heard of/thought about). Kill Phil was kind of an impulse buy, but I've been donking around in a few SnG's and MTT's lately and I figure it couldn't hurt.
Thats about it for now, I'll be putting in a (hopefully) gross amount of volume today. I'm aiming for upwards of 3k hands. Also, I think that's one thing that is affecting my play lately. I'm so worried about putting in hands that maybe I've added too many tables for me to handle. I'm going to cut it back from 10-12 to 8-10, depending on how I'm feeling. I was doing well playing 8 or 9 so I'll just stick to that for now. It's only 50-100 hands more an hour. I think thats worth giving up to save some winrate for now, since thats virtually gone down the tubes. (lol 2 days and im bitching :))
happy birthday for yesterday dude, and congrats on the gooooot month. tripling the BR is always a good sign imo. now get yo ass to 25NL!!!!!
Haha thanks buddy. I doubt I'll ever manage tripling the BR again in a month, but it will be a fun goal to shoot for, and I'll definitely try to be pwning the 25nl by the end of April. Just need to cut back on spewing after I lose a stack or something and I'd be a lot closer to breakeven instead of down lol. Tilt control, tilt control, tilt control. I needz to focuz on dat sheet again.
Just finished my session/day of grindaments. Started out pretty shitty. At one point I was down over 3 BI's. I settled down, stopped spewing, tightened up, and started playing all around better poker, and it did the trick. I brought myself out of a downswing to +7 cents over ~2.5k hands lol. MUCH better than being down tho, so I'm pretty stoked about it.
After that, went to the gym, worked out for a bit, came back took a shower and hopped on the tables. Played for around an hour for +2 BI's lol. Ship the heater for the end of the day. Works for me tho. Finished today +2 BI's (obv lol) which is pretty sick considering how much I was down there for a while. I'm also on pace to hit silverstar/make my goal of 40k hands. I would play longer, but I have to wake up at 5:30 to go to work :/. 7-3pm and then come back and grind like crazy again lol. Thats it for now.

Yea so, Friday I didn't grind at all. Took a nap when I got home, went out drinking. Met a cute lil chica, Tory. She's like 5 foot nothing, so basically a midget next to my 6'3" but i dont even care. Hot as fuck, she's like 23 or 24 (cant remember I was intoxicated lol) good lil body, etc. Will probly (i better :)) see her on the 24th at another friends party.
Then saturday, I was kinda hung over, nothing major. Woke up at 5-6pm (lol) cuz we (me and tory) stayed up til like 8 or 9 talking and stuff, plus drinking. So i drove back to the dorms, took a quick shower and went to work from 11-7 in the morning (fml). Sunday I think I played for a while but nothing HUGE. Only a couple of sessions behind pace, so nothing huge yet. Just gotta get back on the horse.

From what I've seen in my life, (obv uve seen otherwise) is most people don't give a damn about drinking (and coincidentally, alcoholism) in and around my hometown. It's pretty pathetic, but obviously it was presumptuous for me to assume it was like that otherwise.
Back to poker talk (although there isn't much of that either :/) in my thread. ;)
Sorry, I got mixed up somehow about where you live. Yea, I live in the "Bible Belt" in Tennessee, where there are about four churches per sq. mile, lol. There's a constant barrage of tv commercials warning about drinking and driving, plus sobriety checkpoints during the holidays (I thought they were unconstitutional). I would change a few things if I could. :roll:Quote:

It wasn't all running good (although that helped A LOT obv), I think I generally played all around solid poker. My mindset going into this session was, "Lots of hands, c-bet ONLY on good flops for it (ie Kxx rainbow, etc), value bet my hands, think about my bet sizing vs certain villains, don't pull multi street bluffs, give up if called on the flop."
It SERIOUSLY helped my game/winrate by a ridiculous amount. I managed to get villains AI with hands that might not be so willing to stack off with by playing a lil weak early in the hand, I made good +EV decisions vs the "regs" (lol), and stopped trying to get ppl off TPWK, which they NEVER fold for any amount. I was putting my villains on ranges, and playing accordingly.
All in all a VERY good session. Hopefully, I can build on this in the future. BR is getting to the point where I can start eyeballing those 25nl tables. :banana:
Heres the hand I promised: (first time I've ever done this, hopefully the last as I would like to be getting it in AHEAD of him, but meh)
http://weaktight.com/976262
Not getting it in on the flop there would be a huge mistake imo. He could have overpairs and Ahxh - You need to be deeper to even consider folding a set on the flop imo.
Nice job on the 1 outer!
